Ebola: Over 2,000 dead in DR Congo as virus gathers pace
The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has killed more than 2,000 people, with cases exceeding 5,000. The World Health Organization warns the epidemic is far from under control, and officials cite insecurity, displacement, and community mistrust as major challenges. No approved vaccine exists for the Bundibugyo strain, and the outbreak has become the country's worst on record.
